Hamas: "Israeli" withdrawal from Netzarim Corridor marks war failure

Hamas spokesperson Abdel Latif Al-Qanoua stated that the withdrawal of "Israeli" forces from the Netzarim Corridor is further proof of the failure of "Israel’s" aggression objectives in Gaza.

Al-Qanoua emphasized that the return of displaced Palestinians, ongoing prisoner exchanges, and the retreat from Netzarim contradict "Israeli" Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s claims of a “complete victory.”

Gazans returned Sunday to the eastern part of the corridor after the "Israeli" military withdrew overnight as part of the Gaza ceasefire agreement. The corridor, which bisects the Gaza Strip, had been occupied by "Israeli" forces since the beginning of the aggression.

Al-Qanoua asserted that all "Israeli" attempts to establish military control over Gaza and divide the territory have failed due to Palestinian resilience and resistance.

He stressed that despite 15 months of bombardment, starvation, and destruction, "Israel" has been unable to achieve its goals. He warned that any future attempts, including through deals or external interventions, will not change Gaza’s reality, which he declared will remain a liberated land, inaccessible to occupation and foreign forces.
